Jerome Scott does not write just to entertain, he writes to awaken, to connect, and to heal. A veteran of the stage with two decades of theater under his belt, Jerome has spent a lifetime navigating the dual lanes of storytelling, both on stage and behind the scenes. Whether performing a monologue or penning a script, his artistry has always been rooted in purpose.
At this year’s Jasai Theater Festival, Jerome steps into his role as a writer with clarity, humility, and heart. His dream is simple yet profound, to reach the masses through art. Not for applause, but for change. Not for ego, but for impact. He envisions creating works that shift perspectives and open new ways of seeing the world.
What Jerome cherishes most about the festival is the shared energy, the collaborative spirit of creatives united by craft, by faith, and by love for the work. In this sacred space of storytelling, surrounded by kindred souls who are just as committed to the mission as he is, Jerome feels both grounded and inspired.
With experience as a playwright, co-producer, songwriter, and actor, Jerome brings both depth and versatility to the table. His journey is one of grit and grace, of showing up again and again, of evolving with each scene, and of honoring the sacred responsibility of the storyteller.
This year, his goal is not lofty or abstract. It is heartfelt and human: to make someone’s heart smile. Because sometimes, that is the truest mark of art well made.
Jerome reminds us that in a world often obsessed with noise and notoriety, there is still power in quiet purpose, in steady creation, and in writing with love.
